This watercolor baby blanket is absolutely adorable! The crochet pattern showcases an easy stitch and self-striping yarn, resulting in a beautiful painterly effect. The best part? No need to deal with the hassle of weaving in multiple ends! When it comes to crochet baby shower gifts, baby blankets are always a fantastic choice. They can be customized, and you won’t need to spend a lot of time working on them. For this particular blanket, the designer used three different colors of self-striping acrylic yarn, effortlessly blending them together. The brick stitch, also known as the block stitch, adds a charming touch with its little boxes. It’s a quick and simple stitch since you’re always crocheting into spaces rather than the tops of stitches from the previous row.
One important tip to remember when working with this stitch is to ensure that the chains in your even rows are not too tight. Tight chains could result in the bottom of the blanket being wider than the top. So, keep those chains nice and loose for a perfectly balanced blanket!
